Piper Lyrics - Soul, David

When all the midnight people come rollin' home,
You can find me siftin' through my dreams
The spirit comes and I can't help but write my songs,
In the only world I know that 's real to me

Hey Jack! Can't you see the writing on the wall?
Make room for the piper

When fast-talkin', fancy people hear my tune,
They say the words are nice but the lyrics seem too strong
So they steam-roll-it and pigeon-hole-it
And sweeten it to hell
But you know I don't take sugar in my songs

Hey Jack! Can 't you see the writing on the wall?
Make room for the piper
Hey Jack! Can't you see the writing on the wall?
Make room for the piper..

Make room for the piper
Room for the piper

If all those midnight people can sing along
There's gotta be somethin' right about what I've done
'Cause it's all over-rated what I wrote
Well, I'm leavin' town if I don't make number one

Hey Jack! Can't you see the writing on the wall?
Make room for the piper
Hey Jack! Can't you see the writing on the wall?
Make room for the piper.
